Today I'd like to look at another instruction,
a few more where Allah says, yabani
adamah.
So in verse number 26 of Surat Al
Araf,
Allah addresses us for the first time. Then
in 27, again He says,
Allah says, O children of Adam,
don't ever let Shaytan,
don't ever let shaitan
test you or abuse you or overcome you
in a way, in any way. Make sure
that you don't let Shaytan trap you with
his traps
because he has removed your forefathers from Jannah.
He took your forefathers out of paradise, meaning
He took Adam and Eve. Adam and Hawa,
may peace be upon them. Allah says, Shaytan
trapped them. Be careful. Go and read about
that. Go and find out what Shaytan did.
Shaytan promised them 2 things. Shaytan said, if
you disobey
Allah, you're going to live forever
and you will own everything.
Both of those were just a lie.
But Shaytan put it forth so beautifully
and Allah says they regretted it. They sought
forgiveness and then look what happened. They were
removed from Jannah. So Allah
says, Shaytan's aim is to make you reveal
your private parts, to make you take off
your clothing. SubhanAllah,
You take off your clothing. That's from Shaytan.
Allah says, watch out. Shaytan wants you to
be immoral.
Shaytan wants you to actually forget Allah.
So he warns us and says, be careful.
Don't fall into the same trap of the
devil.
Otherwise
you will be exposed. May Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala not expose us.
